Called mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and also known as mini-laptops, mini-notebooks, or mini-notes, these lightweight laptops are practically naked, stripped of all extraneous features. And starting at around US$400, they're far cheaper than other mobile PCs.

4 new mini-laptops -- which is smallest, lightest, best?

09/17/2008  
Relevance: 7.73
Like a diamond, a digital media player or a rare coin, the latest mini-notebooks are good things in small packages. By squeezing a lot of computing power into a very mobile package at a hard-to-beat price, they are turning the established mobile pecking order on its head. Until recently, the smallest and lightest notebooks commanded the highest price tags. Take, for example, Lenovo's ThinkPad X300 and Apple's MacBook Air -- they each weigh about 3 pounds, sell for between $2,500 and $3,000 and are the envy of travelers the world over.

Little Linux Laptops: Build It and People Will Come

01/11/2008  
Relevance: 7.54
Part of Linux's appeal has always been its low cost (essentially free) so it makes sense that a new crop of low-priced mini-laptops are turning to the OS. The beauty of these desktop replacement replacements is that, despite their compactness, they offer a real opportunity for genuine productivity on the go. While they don't quite have the cool factor of an iPhone, some do feature flash drives for storage and wi-fi and could have definite appeal for students, journalists, and the like. One of these units will be available through Wal-Mart, so this could spell another big boost for Linux computing in themainstream.[Personally I disagree. The Eee PC is way cooler than the iPhone. - Sander]
